Protecting permanent teeth for health is a propaganda of the past. Today, scientific and technological innovation and medical breakthroughs have broken the existing knowledge of human beings.
Researchers in Japan are working on a new drug that can make people grow a new pair of teeth, and clinical trials will begin next July.
"Rebirth of teeth is every dentist's dream." Katsu Takahashi, an associate professor at Kyoto University School of Medicine and a leader in the study, said he had been focusing on the research for years, saying, "I'm confident that I can succeed."
Innovative drugs that can help treat people with "congenital" incomplete permanent teeth are expected to be available on the market by 2030.
